Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The vehicular vision system of claim 1, wherein the vehicular vision system, responsive to detection by the control of the object, and responsive to the control determining that the detected object constitutes a potential hazard, centers the virtual viewing position on the detected potentially hazardous object.
3. The vehicular vision system of claim 1, wherein the vehicular vision system, responsive to detection by the control of the object, and responsive to the control determining that the detected object constitutes a potential hazard, displays multiple images in a split screen format.
4. The vehicular vision system of claim 3, wherein the displayed multiple images comprises at least two displayed images of the detected potentially hazardous object.
5. The vehicular vision system of claim 1, wherein the display screen displays the enlarged view of the detected potentially hazardous object and the surround view video images in a split screen format.
6. The vehicular vision system of claim 1, wherein the vehicular vision system, responsive to detection by the control of the object, and responsive to the control determining that the detected object constitutes a potential hazard, displays an overlay at the displayed detected potentially hazardous object.
7. The vehicular vision system of claim 1, wherein the vehicular vision system, responsive to detection by the control of the object, and responsive to the control determining that the detected object constitutes a potential hazard, highlights the detected potentially hazardous object via a color change in the displayed images of the detected potentially hazardous object.
8. The vehicular vision system of claim 1, wherein the control, responsive to processing at the control of image data captured by the plurality of cameras, detects a plurality of objects, and wherein the display screen, responsive to detection by the control of the plurality of objects, and responsive to the control determining that the detected objects constitute a plurality of potential hazards, displays the plurality of detected potentially hazardous objects in separate respective enlarged views of the respective detected potentially hazardous objects.
9. The vehicular vision system of claim 1, comprising a gesture sensing device operable to sense a gesture made by a driver of the equipped vehicle, wherein, responsive at least in part to determination, via the gesture sensing device, of a gesture made by the driver, the control adjusts at least one selected from the group consisting of (i) the virtual viewing position for the displayed composite image and (ii) a virtual viewing angle of the displayed composite image from the virtual viewing position.
10. The vehicular vision system of claim 9, wherein the control calculates the virtual viewing position or the virtual viewing angle in real time without use of precalculated mapping tables.
11. The vehicular vision system of claim 9, wherein the control adjusts the displayed images responsive to detection by the gesture sensing device of one or more fingers of a hand of the driver touching and moving at a touch screen of the gesture sensing device.
12. The vehicular vision system of claim 9, wherein the gesture sensing device comprises at least one of (i) a time of flight sensor, (ii) at least one camera having a field of view interior of the equipped vehicle, (iii) a single camera having a field of view interior of the equipped vehicle and comprising motion disparity detection, and (iv) two cameras having fields of view interior of the equipped vehicle and comprising stereo camera disparity detection.
13. The vehicular vision system of claim 9, wherein, responsive to a determination by the gesture sensing device of a head movement made by the driver of the equipped vehicle, the control adjusts a virtual viewing location of the displayed images.
15. The vehicular vision system of claim 14, wherein the vehicular vision system, responsive to detection by the control of the object, and responsive to the control determining that the detected object constitutes a potential hazard, centers a virtual viewing position on the detected potentially hazardous object.
16. The vehicular vision system of claim 14, wherein the vehicular vision system, responsive to detection by the control of the object, and responsive to the control determining that the detected object constitutes a potential hazard, displays an overlay at the displayed images of the detected potentially hazardous object.
17. The vehicular vision system of claim 14, wherein the control, responsive to processing at the control of image data captured by the at least one camera, detects a plurality of objects, and wherein the display screen, responsive to detection by the control of the plurality of objects, and responsive to the control determining that the detected objects constitute a plurality of potential hazards, displays the plurality of detected potentially hazardous objects in separate respective enlarged views of the respective detected potentially hazardous objects.
19. The vehicular vision system of claim 18, wherein the control, responsive to processing at the control of image data captured by the plurality of cameras, detects a plurality of objects, and wherein the display screen, responsive to detection by the control of the plurality of objects, and responsive to the control determining that the detected objects constitute a plurality of potential hazards, displays the plurality of potentially hazardous objects in separate respective enlarged views of the respective detected potentially hazardous objects, and wherein the displayed multiple images comprise the single composite display image and the separate respective enlarged views of the respective detected potentially hazardous objects.
